Just like with many things, if we look at examples of success in certain areas of the country and in certain situations, perhaps we could then generalize and come up with a more inclusive plan, or perhaps even a solution. Here I am specifically speaking about the spread of Covid. These days the delta variant is the rage just about everywhere, and it is spreading like wildfire in some places. Perhaps we should study those situations in which there doesn’t seem to have been in the past, or in which there is now no appreciable worry about the spread of the virus. Certainly, by assimilating data from these situations, we all can learn something.
A possible solution? Follow me … as I think I have it
For instance in the past there was apparently no Covid spread at BLM “rallies.” Why was this? Has it been looked into?
Last weekend Chicago’s downtown was a sea of mostly unmasked humanity as hundreds of thousands crowded together for the outdoor music festival Lollapalooza.
A chorus of public health experts sounded the alarm about the fast spread of the contagious coronavirus delta variant – even by the fully vaccinated – and the city called for masking indoors, yet more than 385,000 people packed the four-day event.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended the decision to hold the festival. She certainly must have known something the rest of the country didn’t. Why wasn’t the source of her “inside info” queried? Certainly, we could have all learned something from her and Lollapalooza.
In Washington, D.C. Dave Chappelle had a indoor concert on July 30. Some 3,500 attended his show at the concert venue The Anthem. Coincidentally Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. instituted a citywide mask mandate for the following day. I guess there was something special about that concert that made the spread of Covid next to impossible. If the spread of Covid was not going to be a problem at that concert, Mayor Bowser should let the rest of us know why not, so that the rest of us could learn.
The Mexican border especially around the area of McCallum, Texas also needs to be studied. Thousands and thousands of illegals are coming into this border city. Many of these have tested positive for Covid, yet they are not quarantined or stopped. Obviously, there must be something special about the Covid in this area, otherwise these positive individuals would be treated like everyone else. Why won’t President Biden let us in on the secret?
And finally on 8/7 President Obama threw a huge birthday celebration for his sixtieth. Supposedly about four hundred of his closest friends were in attendance. Obviously, he and Michelle must know the secret to not spreading Covid. Hopefully at some point, they will fill in the rest of the country as to what the secret is.
I think I have it … a solution.
Perhaps if BLM, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Mayor Muriel Bowser, President Biden, and ex-President Obama would pool all of their inside info, the country could get the upper hand on this delta variant.
